All very chill. Varied eating areas from tables to bench by ocean to bean bags. Where ever you might want to chill and soak up the Hervey Bay vibes. At the right times of day the sun hits the sea with magnificent colour. The palm trees complete their tropical oasis. Early morning you get the sunrises and later you get the sunsets. What a location. And sometimes you even get these with magnificent tropical rainbows.

WOW WOW WOW! Truly the one word to some up for the food at this restaurant. My partner and I were…read moredriving north several months ago and stopped by Hervey Bay along the route. We already knew Hervey Bay was known for two things - whale watching and the scallops. As we didn't have time to go whale watching we decided to try out the scallops. Nearly every restaurant in Australia that offers scallops mentions that they are from Hervey Bay so we had very high expectations. Keep in mind my partner HATES scallops. So for him to even be trying them was a huge deal. I ordered the Hazelnut Butter Baked while he ordered the Tempura. With no exaggeration these were the BEST scallops I have EVER eaten! My partner even loved them that he ordered a second round. I enjoyed mine more than his but they were both incredible. The hazelnut butter was nothing like Ive ever tasted before. So rich and flavorful. we also got seafood chowder and spring rolls but I would honestly skip those next to tp just get more scallops. Highly recommend this place! However, they get extremely crowded so definitely try and make a reservation. We came right when they opened for dinner so they had a spare outdoor table for us, but it was extremely windy and cold. With a reservation you can get a seat inside which would have been more comfortable.

Lots of choices, including bacon, eggs (3 different ways), hash browns, grilled tomato, mushrooms, savoury mince, baked beans, spaghetti, bread/toast, pikelets, cereals, fruit and yoghurt plus tar, coffee and juices all for $15 if you pay at reception before you walk in ($20 if you pay in restaurant). We all thought it was well and truly worth $15. This cafe is located i up the stairs in the entrance to the Ramada Hervey Bay. You don't have to be staying at Ramada to enjoy the cafe. Am yet to try the dinner here. Very comfortable dining space with room to move and nice staff. You can sit inside or outside depending on how you feel. Breakfast buffet is also 7 days so that's a bonus for me.

A bit of a mixed bag, but still one of the better tapas places I've been to in Australia. The…read moredishes here were somewhat hit-and-miss. Some of them, such as the duck crepes with hoisin sauce, seemed carefully composed and thoughtfully presented. Others, however, seemed hastily thrown together without much consideration given to presentation or flavor. Still, it wasn't a bad experience, and they've got some decent dishes on the menu. Portion sizes are reasonable, and each dish costs around $8 to $9. At 2-3 dishes per person, you'll get a filling meal for around $20 each. Not a bad option for a quick lunch.

We had spicy fried pork ribs, French herbed lamb chops, coconut prawns, blue cheese mushrooms, soft shell crab and the most amazing duck and cucumber crepes. We also had the loveliest fresh squeezed juices. I had watermelon, pineapple, ginger and mint which was beyond yummy and my sister had apple, celery and ginger and it was so refreshing. We probably should have stopped there but decided on dessert. I had gluten free chocolate brownie that just melted in my mouth and sister had lemon meringue pie. Suffice to say we were completely full when we walked out the doors. Would recommend this tapas bar to groups of friends wanting good food and atmosphere, they also have a good cocktail and wine selection.
